Hi Loren...they do recognize various colours, but not in the intensity or vibrancy.

Answer 2

I know for a fact my prior cat saw the color white. Every blanket, toy or pillow was white and she responded to only that color.

I now have two kittens and what I know is, they love the lights on at night--as we all know they can see at night, but when the lights are on they can see any little ant or bug much more.

Also, they love the flame in the wood stove--just to look at it for hours, so my answer is YES, they can see white, but I don't know about black.

Answer 3

I think cats see in color. My cat loves a plaything that is a bunch of colored strands on a stick. If it were b/w, I think he'd be bored.

Here is my question: do cats respond to music and rhythm. My cat loves it when I pat his back in beat to the music.

Do cats have a sense of time. If I'm gone 2 days or 2 weeks, do they know the difference?

Answer 4

Like many other mammals, cats were believed for years to see only in black and white.

As with many other mammals, that belief was found to be completely wrong.

Cats don't see color quite like we do. They are probably somewhat colorblind in the red-green shades. But they definitely see colors.
